About the Item
Irina Lakshin is a Russian sculptor, born and raised in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Before moving to the United States, she completed her Master’s in economics from the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade and began her early career in banking. Upon her move to the United States in 2009, Irina began taking pottery classes for fun, where her hobby blossomed into a passion. For several years, she studied with various ceramic masters. She perfected her skills in both hand-building and wheel-throwing, among many techniques. By 2012, Irina decided to turn her passion into a lifestyle by becoming a professional artist; her work can now be seen in various galleries and private art collections. In 2018, Irina achieved her Certificate of Fine Art from the New York Academy of Art, followed by a Master’s degree in sculpture in 2021. Irina’s work ranges in both material and technique, as she sculpts with stoneware, porcelain, and terracotta, and uses different types of glazing and firing throughout her work. Her contemporary work references the classics, while manifesting itself in the form of vessels, figurative, and pop-art sculptures. Irina’s latest project from 2020 is a series of sculptures called “Mishka”. The sculpted bears in this series represent avatars, to depict people, life situations, emotions, and funny narratives.
About the artwork:
"Let’s play like children. The biggest difference between them and adults is their imagination and fantasy without boundaries. When they play, they imbue their toys with their own qualities and that of who surrounds them. I wanted to play this game too; and I chose to play with a bear named Mishka. The type of toy everyone is familiar with— Mishka inspires empathy which bridges to the audience. My goal is to craft a universal message that appeals to all, and is communicated through my prism view of this world and this life."

- "Heads Will Roll" Textile Fiber Art, Discarded Clothing, FigurativeLocated in New York, NY"Heads Will Roll" Textile Fiber Art, Discarded Clothing This piece is unique, signed on recto and verso, and includes a certificate of authenticity Linda Friedman Schmidt is a German-born American artist known for her emotional narrative portraits created from discarded clothing. She was born stateless in a displaced persons camp, the first child of Holocaust survivors who discouraged her interest in art. Her artwork depicts a reality informed by social, political, and feminist issues as well as a traumatic family history. Through a process of unmaking and remaking, she explores the potential of art to mend, transform, and heal the self and society. Her earlier artworks continue to endure today as they address inequality, violence against women, and the general sense of unease and vulnerability that has been heightened by the pandemic. Her artwork has been exhibited extensively in the USA in group shows at venues such as the American Folk Art Museum, Allentown Art Museum, Montclair Art Museum, Morris Museum, and many others. It has been selected for exhibition by prestigious curators such as Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold, and renowned art critic Donald Kuspit. Her work has been shown internationally in Japan...Category
